  1. Do you still eat sugar based foods like cookies? I am 9 months out, down 95 pounds!

    Drinks

    I do a non fat chai tea latte every once in a while but it eats up a lot of my calories for the day. So it is a present to myself, a luxury!

    Gallbladder Comes Out Today

    I know what you mean. I think it is my body adjusting to digesting and it is causing pain. My doctor nurse said milk of magnesia will combat the pain killers, lets hope!

    Gallbladder Comes Out Today

    I had mine taken out on Thursday. I was in a lot of pain. Now it is more sore pain than indigestion pain. How are you feeling?

    Irritated With Eveyone Around Me

    Anyone else loose your patience recently? I never had road rage or said exactly what I was feeling with the irritation I have since surgery. Lately I have made an employee cry, insulted my mother (we are really close) and yelled at another driver. I hate feeling like this

    Irritated With Eveyone Around Me

    I called my ob-gyn and told him about my hormone rages. He changed my hormone replacement (hysterectomy) to a lower dose. We store hormones in our fat and with less fat I was overloaded. I will tell you all if it works but I do feel more aware of my attitude. It was good to say it out loud

    Scared To Eat

    I was just talking to my mom about being scared of food last week. I am making an appointment to see my therapist and going to group this week but this post has made me feel better. Not alone! I don't want to eat bad food and fitness pal has helped but I am nervous about eating out, what to order, people looking at what I don't eat! I use to eat my feelings and I don't want to fall back into that

    This May Be Inappropriate, Forgive Me :)

    Well I need to get a man! 50 shades of Grey, all this talk about better sex, etc... This thread has made me giggle and turn a bit red. Love it!
  10. I have always been warm blooded, it was really bad after the surgery. I froze everyone out at my house and had to take 2 showers a day! It passed about 2 weeks after surgery. The more weight I lose, the colder I get! Yeah!!!

    Made To Onederland... Finally!

    I made it to 195 a few days ago but didn't want to believe it! Yeah!

    Is This A Problem For Anyone Else?

    Not supportive at all! I have supportive family and friends around me. They may not believe in the procedure, but they believe in me. Last week I opened the freezer and saw Ben and Jerry's, I almost cried until I looked at the label. Not one I would like. My mom said "I would never buy something you liked, that is just cruel". That is what you need around you, people who want good things for you

    Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?

    I was sleeved on 4-23 and including pre op I am down 29 pounds so far. I had a stall 2 weeks ago and was a little depressed but then it started coming off again. I am so happy I made this choice. I am finally learning how to eat right. I told my family over the weekend "I have a new body and I am going to treat it right this time "

    Amount Of Time Off Work?

    I work in retail, store manager and originally took 2 weeks off. I went back last week for half days and was hurting afterwards. I think it really depends on you, but 6 weeks seems like a long time to me.

    So Very Annoyed! Not Losing

    Reading your story, it is so much like mine. Same day surgery too! I had a hysterectomy when I was 28 (endometriosis). I asked about the HRT and my doctor didn't think it would effect weight loss. I have lost 26 since pre op and the last few days I gain a pound then lose it the next day. So frustrating! I am also so sick of the protein shakes I have been drinking. Let me know what you think of the Sams club

    Coffee Sadness

    I use to drink a cup of black coffee every morning but since surgery I get sick at the smell. I have started to drink tea instead. I miss my coffee!

    Too Much

    I have days where I am full and then days like today where I am SO hungry!!! I called my dietician today to make sure I was doing ok and not over eating. She went through my diet and stressed that I need a lot more protein. I am averaging about 40 grams and need to be at 60. I hope that if I can choke down more than 1 shake a day I will feel less hungry. Really beating myself up today!

    TMI for some...but how do you smell?

    So I can smell things I couldn't before and my taste buds are weird. For example I had a strawberry Popsicle and could taste peanut butter with it...crazy! I take 2 showers a day now and can't seem to feel clean in my butt region?
  19. I am 12 days out and feeling pretty good except I think I over did it yesterday. I felt great so I changed my sheets and vacuumed the carpets. Today I have pain in my stomach in the center. It isn't fall over pain but I feel it when I move around. Anyone else have this?

    Too Much Activity?

    I had the pain in my rib last week. From what I read it is due to the instruments in there during surgery.

    Feeling Sad

    I had it on day 3. I was sobbing, it was terrible! I came home that day and it changed everything. I do have depression but not like that! I was so happy to be home with my pets. Find your happy place, it will pass. If it doesn't in a week, I would call your doctor

    Gross Topic

    Have been out of the hospital for 3 days now and the day I was released I had a normal colored bowel movement. Since then all have been clear and snotty looking. Anyone have the same and is it normal?
